The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has simplified the process of online rectification of incorrect TDS details filed in the Income Tax Return.
Taxpayers were required to fill-in complete details of the entire TDS schedule while applying for rectification on the e-filing portal of the Income-tax Department.
Errors due to incomplete TDS details in rectification applications were leading to delays in processing of such applications thereby causing hardship to the taxpayers.
To avoid this inconvenience, a new facility has been provided for pre-filling of TDS schedule while submitting online rectification request on the e-filing portal to facilitate easy correction or up-dating of TDS details.
This is expected to considerably ease the burden of compliance on the taxpayers seeking rectification due to TDS mismatch.
